(UK of GB and) NI General Election 2015

[Old Tyrannia]

I'd vote the same party that I most likely will do in the UK wide election, the Green party.

Sinn Féin.
The others suck eggs.
Especially DUP/TUV/UUP/Greens.

Whats wrong with the Greens?

They're republicans, they oppose nuclear power, and they want to legalise marijuana. That's why I hate them; I can't speak for the poster you quoted.

[Ostroeuropa]

I hope Alliance wins as usual.

[Aurea]

Why is it that all the left-wing parties are nationalist/support a United Ireland and all the right-wing parties are unionist/support a United Kingdom?

Which is the party that is center-left but supports the union with GB? Would it be the Alliance Party?

It's a cultural context kind of thing.
The left was anti-britain because of imperialism. It stuck.
It means that if you are left wing and pro-britain, you have to bite the bullet and either vote right wing, or vote pro-ireland.

It's kind of like how a lot of the left is dealing with baggage from opposing nuclear power, because the culture they are from used to be pro-USSR and anti-western nuclear power.

The Alliance Party is non-sectarian. There is, however, the Progressive Unionist Party that might fulfil your needs.

I understand. I think if I was Northern Irish I would, like you said, bite the bullet and vote for the lesser of the two right-wing parties (UUP) because I support unionism more than economics (& DUP scares me). But I think Alliance Party would be a good middle choice though.

Can't imagine why you'd hate a party for wanting to legalise marijuana I disagree with their stance on republicanism and Nuclear power to a certain degree (nuclear power a whole lot more than republicanism) but they are pretty much dead on economically for me which gains them my support

I'd vote the same party that I most likely will do in the UK wide election, the Green party.



Whats wrong with the Greens?

The Greens in Ireland are one of the parties who have corrupted our country. The Greens participated in the 2007-2011 Fianna Fáil Coalition, the government who broke Ireland.

How is that relevant to the Green party in NI? The two party's share a name and cooperate sure just like all green parties everywhere do but blaming one Green party for a coalition that another green party took part in sounds pretty shaky to me.

Or vote Green...

I'm not seeing any mention of that in they are on their Wikipedia page and they have different chair people...

I don't support the US Greens... They come off as kinda crazy.

The Republicans really pushed far left education in the prisons and subsequently those prisoners went on to form political parties.

I don't like the Greens because they're republicans although I do agree with them on some things.

Alliance is a centre party but they're the closest it gets to a unionist (or neutral) left-wing party.

But the Greens are republicans and if you're pro-Britain then you're probably a monarchist.

[Greater-London]

Not especially well versed in Northern Irish politics but If I could I would probably vote Alliance as a liberal and non-sectarian party.

[Benian Republic]

I like most sinn feinn ideals

[Kosovo-Pristina]

Your signature says you support the IRA so I not surprised you support Sinn Féinn and the bastard Gerry Adams.

Oh no! Mate, don't do this please. Here comes the fight and the conflict. Besides you'll come off as an idiot because he's referring to the Irish Republican Army from 1917-1922 not the provisional one. Oh, you're making unionists look bad too but fortunately it is obvious you're not from Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland as you don't know the different Irish Republican armies.

That's fair enough. Just saying though that the Green attitude is a pro UK one and not out of some sentimental attachment but because of the referendum thus upholding the spirit of self determination whilst being left wing and not liberal, their republican ideals are pretty much by the by as even in a hypothetical Green government I very much doubt the monarchy would be abolished without a referendum and if republicans can win a referendum then we should probably be without a monarchy anyway and I'm sure only a minority of monarchists would say otherwise.

I am not Irish and I admit I screwed up on this one but this guy also has the SNLA in the pro section of his signature. The Scottish National Liberation Army! There's still the possibility he's referring to the Provisional IRA as the IRA.

[Allet Klar Chefs]

Why is it that all the left-wing parties are nationalist/support a United Ireland and all the right-wing parties are unionist/support a United Kingdom?

Because most unionist supporters are unbelievable serfs who don't realise that working with Sinn Fein would probably get them more of what they want in their day-to-day lives.
